Seek and you shall find, even when you wish you hadn't

[GretschWretch]

While trying to indagate the make of johnnyangel69's mystery bass, I blundered into this:

All I've got to say, is that there are things besides Macbeth that can murder sleep.

Nice pickup placement.

edit: My original opinion was that this was going to be a slagfest about the bass, but maybe I was wrong.

To each there own...

I guess I'd give it style points for pushing the envelope

This thread won't last long, as it's ill-advised to make fun of ugly basses.

And yet the "overrated" bass thread endures for years...

 

[Chicory Blue]

Pretty color though. Shame it probably looks like a big ol' pile a' meat from a distance.

But I'm not making fun of it or calling it ugly. The page that hosts the image is called Ugly Bass Face.

sure, you didn't start the thread for that purpose

 

[GretschWretch]

sure, you didn't start the thread for that purpose

Stunned disbelief is not the same thing as calling it ugly, which I would have done if that was my intent. My thread title implied that that bass, like some tunes, you just cannot get out of your head. For one thing, there is the stupefying amount of work that went into the carving. I would like to see the rest of the bass.

I will let the moderators pass judgment on the thread.

I don't think it's ugly, but I do think the pickup placement seems incredibly impractical.

 

[FingerDub]

What does indagate mean? I looked it up and still cant figure it out.

This is against the rules also. Maybe you should just let other people be sometimes.

Those boobs gonna mess with my double thumb technique.

 

[JW56789]

Won't comment on the aesthetics. I am, however, waiting for the guy to post his question that the A and D strings are 'just somehow louder' than the E and G. I don't even want to know where the LED's are . . . .

 

[BassUrges]

I wouldn't go for that particular design, but I'm all for the general plan of carving naked chicks into musical instruments.

 

[bholder]

It's not ugly. It's "differently beautiful". A bass only its luthier could love, perhaps, but not ugly. Nope.

I like the fretboard varnish

What does the toggle switch do?

I think in this case the envelope fell of the table. Into a trashcan. Where it caught fire. And burned down your house.
